Review on ZAGG Flex: Slim, Portable Bluetooth Keyboard & Stand for Tablets, Smartphones, Smart TVs - Black by Quintin Gore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Lightweight Portable Keyboard

Update July 24, 2020 I recently thought the "D" key was starting to hit and miss. I turned the keyboard over and tapped it lightly from below. This seems to have fixed the problem. In the meantime I have ordered a replacement keyboard. I ordered the exact same model. That's how much I like the Zagg Flex Slim Keyboard. After receiving the "replacement" keyboard and fully charging it, I paired it with the same iPhone 11 Pro as my original Zagg Flex keyboard. I was a little worried about how well two keyboards of the same model would work when paired with the same phone, but I didn't have to worry. Whichever keyboard I use, all I have to do is open the keyboard cover and it connects instantly. And I can easily switch between the two keyboards, even mid-sentence, without missing a beat. ≈ Another thing I noticed, although I use this keyboard regularly, I never run out of battery and I rarely charge it. I love the Zagg Flex Slim portable keyboard and would recommend it to a friend. .Update - February 15, 2020 I upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro and my Zagg Flex is still working great. It goes perfectly with the 11 Pro and I use the flex all the time. The battery still holds a strong charge and has never died on me. The buttons are still good and responsive, and the phone's detachable case/holder shows no signs of wear, even after many hours of use over the past 13 months. Update - Purchased 25th September 2019 and it was just "to top it off". I use this keyboard with my iPhone 8 and iPad all the time and love it. Update July 2, 2019 I bought this keyboard at the end of January 2019 and am very happy with it. This is one of those products that really deserves all five stars. It's lightweight, portable, durable and reliable. Keys are clear, with no annoying extra spaces, jumps, or sticky keys. The keys are pretty big, even for my fat old man fingers. Bluetooth never stops connecting, and you don't have to worry about the power button as it turns off immediately once the detectable keyboard cover is closed. If there's anything negative about this keyboard, I haven't found it, but I use it regularly. I highly recommend this keyboard. First Review: First off, let me say that this is definitely the best Bluetooth keyboard and stand I've had. Received my Zagg Flex keyboard and detachable stand today, turned it on, paired it with my iPhone 8 and said I've tested it. I've had so many other Bluetooth keyboards over the years, some good, some not so good, that I don't waste time getting a new one set up and running right now. Pairing this keyboard with my iPhone was easy. and fast, it's coming from a man in his 70's. The backlit keys are comfortable, very clear and responsive. As a blindsetter, I think this is a very important feature. The keys have a standard QWERTY layout, without the odd key layout I've seen on other compact keyboards. Key backlighting offers a choice of seven different colors with the option to turn off the backlight feature to conserve battery life. There's even a button that lets you check the keyboard's battery level instantly. The flip cover is magnetized and automatically turns the keyboard on and off when opened or closed. I don't know what material the case is made of, but it's thin, light, and the surface is very soft to the touch. It folds over the keyboard and completely covers it when closed. When open, it forms a platform for a phone or tablet. My phone comes with an Otterbox case which gives the phone a bit more bulk but still sits securely on the stand in both portrait and landscape modes. The quick start guide that comes with this keyboard is clear and concise. , and easy to follow. As per the quick start guide, additional instructions are available online. It's "for" as I see it. If there are any "cons" then I haven't found them yet. This keyboard with stand is worth the money.
